Trying to play .avi in Quicktime and I'm only seeing 'white' screen

When playing certain .avi's in Quicktime (latest version, Pro), I'm getting this white screen...and no video plays. Am i missing some codec?
(Also tried VLC player...doesn't work.)
I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.9
Thanks in advance

  • Insert an FLA and only seeing white screen where animation should be

    When I import an FLA onto my site with dreamweaver and test the site, I get a white box where the flash animation should be. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong because I'm saving the flash file then going into DW, using the common media insertion tab, and ending up with a white blank screen when I view live.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hi Shocker,
    normally I would say it the same way, BUT 'cause I tried this first before I answered and 'cause I got the same message as "bestplaceinaustin" (see my previous answer relating to this) I had to look for other possibilities, ok, savvy?Hans-G.
    I don't know what you're talking about. Previous correspondence between yourself and OP was in regard to error message when trying to convert in Media encoder, which is expected because of the reasons mentioned in my previous post. Perhaps you are confusing my recommendation of opening the file in Flash and converting to flv or swf, not your unsuccessful attempt of opening the file in Flash Media Encoder, which will produce an error message because .fla is an unsupported file type for media conversion since it's a project file, not a media file.

    I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

  • AVI (casio ES-600 digital camera movies) have white screen

    Hello.
    I recently bought my iPod and i'm trying to convert my AVI Movie files from my Casio Digital Camera to Quick Time. I also purchased the Pro version of Quick Time to try and get rid of the "white screen" but that didn't work. I do have sound, just no picture.
    I also went online and downloaded the latest codec's based on various Apple threads (DivX, 3ivX). I still have the "white Screen"
    I have also went to Casio's Download to get the latest version of firmware for my camera (v 1.01). That didn't seem to work.
    I have also uploaded the latest version of QuickTime.
    I have also gone into the QT Preferences and under "video" I "unchecked" the Enable Direct3D video acceleration and then re-opened but that didn't work either. I also tried opening in Safe Mode but that didn't work either.
    I have tested all of the above with a different Nikon camera and it works...it is just these specific Casio AVI files that are killing me.
    Please help. If you can solve this iPod should give you double bonus points for this one as it is hard to figure out.

  • You Tube videos don't play. The site comes up, but a blank white screen where the video should be.

    When I try to play videos from You Tube, I get a blank white screen where the video should be. When I go to full screen the whole screen is white. Originally the white screen happened on the expanded view only.
    IE doesn't have the problem, but Google chrome and Firefox 4.0 do.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
    Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
    Good Luck.
